In an earlier blog, I had written about Martins and the “experience” that I had there one afternoon with long lines, etc. For the record (if there is a “record”), I haven’t discontinued shopping at Martins since then. I like to give people and “things” several chances before I move along. I just wanted to know if people were having the same experiences as myself.

I have to tell my blog readers (as per their recommendations) that I tried the Easy Scan. I actually signed up and tried it for the first time last week. I must say, it was pretty “easy” and I’m anxious to try it again with a few more items.I’ve noticed that more and more shoppers are using it as I hear the “beeps” all over.

Thank goodness each one of us likes different things; different flavors, styles and experiences. If everyone was the same, we may not have music, astronauts, biologists or gardeners. Life would be dull. We’re lucky that here in Perinton we have a choice of where to shop for our groceries and they are within easy walking distance of one another.

Thanks for all your thoughts and opinions!
